JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Dates harvested from the Canal area in eastern Nangarhar province has been sold traditionally in the market due lack of required equipment, technology and facilities.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has planted around 2,800 trees in the in the Canal area 10 years earlier and it was expected that the trees would start yielding dates within four years.
However, the garden started producing dates later than expected and the yield increased last year.
Date harvest at the canal’s garden has been reached six tons this year --- four times up . . .
